Chapter 17

Lady Peasoup took Jill back to Lord Ffogg's castle.

"Here she is, Marmaduke" said Lady Peasoup.

"Ahh... so you're the girl McCartney is in love with. How lovely of you to drop in" said Lord Ffogg.

Jill was terribly scared to be in the home of a criminal she didn't know.

"Who... who are you?" she croaked.

"I am Lord Marmaduke Ffogg. You have my sister, Lady Penelope Peasoup to thank for your being here" said Lord Ffogg.

"I won't thank anyone for this" said Jill near tears.

"Don't be scared. You'll only be here temporarily. Just long enough for me to gain 20 million dollars from Sam & Robin" said Lord Ffogg.

"But why do you need me?" said Jill.

"Everyone seems to need a reason to pay ransom. So if Sam & Robin give me twenty million American dollars, I shall set you free" said Lord Ffogg.

"They wouldn't!" Jill sobbed.

"Penelope, take her to her cell" said Lord Ffogg.

Lady Peasoup threw Jill in a cell at the top of a tower.

"You're going to be here a while" said Lady Peasoup before leaving.

Jill tried to escape, but she couldn't open the locked door.

She sadly sat down on a seat by the window and sang to herself.

I'll be thinking of you

I know that you miss me too

So they say, I never tried

Never tried

All I know is that we are engaged

But we are not together

They tell me I'll be here a while

A while seems like forever

I'll be thinking of you

I know that you miss me too

So they say, I never tried

Never tried

I went from shy and threatening

To joining the police force

I made the closest friends I'll ever have

In my lifetime

But now, I'm trying to get out

Of the cursed castle tower

Please don't ask me any questions

There won't be a valid answer

I'll just say

That I'll be thinking of you

I know that you miss me too

So they say, I never tried

Never tried

I'll be thinking of you

I'll know that you miss me too

So they say, I'm now trying 

I'll be trying to come back to you
